Need clarification on "Goods to Follow"

[vcoer]

Hi,
I need some help in filling up BS186 (goods to follow) form.

1. In the value column - should I write the purchase price of the items or the current - depreciated (approximated) price? If it's the later - is there a formal way to calculate it? Not sure if these methods of valuation as described in their website are relevant to this. If yes, they look very difficult to understand and implement for each item.

2. In the Conveyances section -
a) again what should be the $value of the car (Asking again because $ difference here could be BIG) - purchase price or current price?
b) they have a column asking K22 / Vehicle import form number and BSF715 number (if applicable) in this section. What are those?

Thanks

Current price, use KBB or Edmunds or something like that.

Vehicle import/export is a separate process. Include the vehicle in the 'goods to follow' list, but then when you actually move it, you will have to export it from the US first and then import it into Canada.

1. No. In theory, you should write down the market value of the item. In practice, no one will ask you for certified appraisals. So you have some flexibility with the market value of the item.

2. a) read No1. b) don't know

Hi,

We received our PR last year in Jan-2018 and We flew to Canada for a day to complete the soft landing process. However, We didn't submit any goods to follow list. Now we are planning to move to Canada from US with our all household stuff, one Car and One SUV. will my stuff be eligible for duty-free as part of goods to follow or not. I would be driving both vehicles and Uhaul with all the stuffs.
